vs. Statement of Rights

Defendant
I understand:
Waxaan fahamsanahay:
1. I am charged with committing the offense(s) described in the complaint, citation, or ticket.
In leygu soo eedeeyey inaan galay dambiga(yada) oo ku cad ashtakada, yeerida, iyo tigidka.
2. The maximum sentence for a petty misdemeanor offense is a fine of $300.00 and
applicable surcharges.
Xukunka ugu weyn ee dambiga dhexe waa $300.00 oo ganaax ah iyo dulsaaro wixi
raaci kara.
3. I have the right to be represented by an attorney at all stages of the proceedings. However,
Minnesota law states I must hire my own attorney for a petty misdemeanor charge.
Waxaan xaq u leeyahay in qareen uu i matalo tallaabo kasta sharciga. Si kastaba ha
ahaatee, sharciga Minnesota wuxuu sheegayaa inaan qabsado qareenkeyga gaarka ah
ee dacwada dambiga yar.
4. I have the following rights:
Waxaan leeyahay xuquuqda soo socota:
a. for the case to be continued for me to obtain or speak to an attorney.
in keyska la ii sii wado si aan u helo ama aan ula hadlo qareen.
b. to a trial before a judge in which I am presumed innocent until proven guilty by the
state beyond a reasonable doubt.
dacwo qaadi la horgeeyo taasoo aniga la ii qaadan karo qof aan dambi lahayn illaa
gobolku igu cadeeyo inaan dambiile ahay si ka fog shakiga macquulka.
c. to remain silent at all times, including at trial. Anything I may testify to can be used
against me in Court.
inaan aamuso waqtigoo dhan, ooy ku jirto inta ey socoto dacwada. Wax kasta oo aan
marqaati ku furi karo waxaa loo isticmaali karaa lidkeyga Maxkamada gudaheeda.
d. to confront and cross-examine all witnesses.
laga horyimaado lana su’aalo marqaatiyaasha.
